sorry to have to create this thread guys.. but im desperate... ;)

i got pulled over about 3 weeks ago and done for driving high powered vihicle on my p's, they decided to be mean about it and defect me, do me again for power/weight, and then send me an EPA notice for vihicle emmisions test and noise test

cut a long story short, yes i was in the wrong, i had an r33 gts-t on my p's, i got caught, and yes the car was modified... that aside, the car is now for sale, i cant sell it becuase it has an EPA resting on it...

i returned the car to complete standard EXCEPT for a milotin muffler on the very rear of the standard exhaust

the car passes emmisions, but not noise test

so i desperatly need to borrow someones standard r33 catback exhaust

anyone who could help out, it would be much appreciated

thankyou

Sorry to hear dude and well done for not jumping on here hating the Police. Why not get a cheap run around until you are off your p's and store the car elsewhere as it seems to be your pride and joy?

Sorry to hear buddy, rotten luck often happens to the most responsible of drivers.

If you are prepared to travel west (5min from Calder Park Rwy), i have the full stock exhaust. Never had to use it, after i put on my aftermarket system on, but i am pretty certain it is complete.

if justins 4door dosnt fit mark, take a pic under the car where the rear muffler joins i may have one that will fit, if it joins just on the end it will work. its a muffler/tip super quite.

talk to ya on msn remind me about it.

thanks heaps guys for the replys... goes to show this club really does have a great bunch of members.. the reason im selling it is because ive been done for driving high powered vihicle in my own suburb twice now, both within a very short space of time, and as ironic as it sounds.. came very close to getting done in my own street too,

i'd love to hold onto the car ... but reality is, i have 2 and 3/4 years until i can legally drive it again, and its hurting me too much just sitting in the garage, its my pride and joy, and making the decision to sell it has really cut me up.... i wanted the time to come where i felt i should move on and sell the car, not be forced into a corner with very few options, however in many ways i brought it upon myself by taking the risk, with the attitude of "it won't happen to me"

the club has influenced me greatly over the last year of owning the car, and have made many friends that i decided to purchase, yet another skyline :)

.... so sitting next to my R33 is my new R32 GTS-4

i'll pm a few people, looks like i shouldnt have any worries getting a lend of a standard exhaust thanks to all you guys :P

just hope to remove this stupid Green EPA defect sticker

and begin advertising my baby :P

Damn!!!

Reading you post i just thought, "ah poor guy, he must live near Knox". But you only live in Eltham :P, there are so many good roads there, i was planning a small cruise with some mates, will have to reconsider :(

nah Al.. you'll be fine... your off your p plates, your car is extreamly clean,

only reason i got done was becuase it was 2 in the morning, bored cops at booze bus, one of them clicked that it was over power/weight, and one of my headlights had just blown, hence the reason why they were interested to see what else was "wrong with it"

allthough they are quite picky on the whole "high mount brake light" as i didnt have one after removing standard spoiler and replacing with stealth wing!

... but by all means drive to eltham.. im just working it up to be more then it is coz i got done bad lol

great roads around here, moreso kangaroo ground, warrendyte, kinglake and st andrews all have fantastic roads

you can still get to them by avoiding eltham though.. just have to drive around through say greensborough or diamond creek!

thats if your extreamly paranoid... mums been driving my car round a bit in eltham.. and they dont seem to care coz the car doesnt have p plates on it!

Would have avoided Eltham as it is shorter to go through Greensborough bypass/Diamond Creek :).

I too need to fix a 3rd brake light, have been putting it off for too long :(. Have a feeling that they will definately pick on this, if i was ever pulled over.

PS: Told ya to remove your stealth wing :mad:

j/k: making a light joke from a grim situaton

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
